Being a brilliant blend of chess-like turn based strategy with traditional action gaming, Archon: The Light and The Dark is a properly classic, gracefully aged and actually brilliant game. Happily, it's quite cheap to grab too, even when coming in its original Electronic Arts packaging. Anyway. Here's the auction you were looking for: Archon (C64). Seller ships worldwide.
A classic indeed - played this one quite a bit back in the day. I can still vividly remember the sound effects that some of the pieces/characters made as they moved on the board. Not that the sound effects were particularly impressive but they apparently made enough of an impact to stick with me almost 30 years later. Complete you say? Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteDoes seem it wont end up being very expensive either... Mind you. I think I should have another go at Archon Ultra. Remember that?
DeleteActually I've never played Archon Ultra although it looks like a pretty cool update of the classic.
ReplyDeleteI can't fully recall, but I think it was rather good.
